Previously people used to declare blogging dead, but I’m now noticing a not so subtle shift where people talk like it’s already been dead for a while. I think this is actually true in a sense...
A fuzzy boundary certainly. Test might be whether they sparked independently interesting discourses rather than just capturing value from runoff. Matt Yglesias is a true. Daniel Lemire is more of an academic who provides a blogging window into his academic work.

Yes! And blogs were communities that linked to and from each other. *That's what's dead*.

That linkage still exists, except it’s mediated by reader community forums rather than direct. I’d argue the new form is actually a much stronger kind of linking that blogrolls and direct links.
